An 84-year-old woman who was trying to get a parking ticket at the Restaurant Row parking structure was dragged 20 to 25 feet this morning by her own car and was taken to The Queen's Medical Center in serious condition.The woman apparently could not reach the ticket and got partially out of her car around 10 a.m. when "it dragged her along, pinning her against her car" and a concrete island that supports the parking ticket machine, said Bryan Cheplic, spokesman for the city's emergency services department.
